And as for the Akeida... there are many centuries of deep wisdom about what it means and what we can learn from it.

Only know-nothing literalist Protestant Christians come up with rubbish like yours.

Please if you want to criticise reformed Christianity, go ahead. But you know NOTHING of other religions so don't assume they are the same.

@jeffowski

I assume you do realise that the reason Israelites referred to the Philistines as "the uncircumcised", and collected their foreskins as trophies, is because all other local desert peoples practised circumcision. The coastal Philistines were the weirdos because they didn't.

Oh, no, you didn't? That's because you're ignorant as fuck.

As I said, the only religion atheists understand (and reject) is Christianity. They know fuck all about anything else.

Agree it's useful - it's a very very old trick from the other place. Usually called soft-blocking.
